The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C268 wind and dark clouds
When the sixth brother attacked, he didn’t have a full chance of winning. As for the second brother, he had always been the one with the highest chance of winning.
It was rare for him to meet an opponent, no, after so many years, he hadn’t seen any.
No matter how strong their opponents were, or how dangerous their situation was, as long as their number two appeared, they would turn the tide.
But even if they hadn’t met an opponent, number two was just a single person. He wasn’t a god; he had weaknesses, and he had weaknesses.
It was not invincible.
Therefore, Ol ‘Six chose to mount a sneak attack.
He gambled on the trust he had earned from each other over the years.
After all, they had fought side by side for so many years. Even if they didn’t have any feelings for each other, they would still trust each other.
But he still failed.
The dagger that he had thrusted out missed, and Jiang Ting had already flown ten meters away like an eagle.
A chill ran up his spine.
Was it because Jiang Ting had been prepared, or was his martial arts truly at such a high level that he could make a move later on?
These two reasons, no matter which one, were enough to cause him to tremble with fear.
He suddenly regretted it. He was in too much of a hurry to seek credit in front of the King Rong with a title, so he didn’t have a better arrangement.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to change his mind.
Jiang Ting’s sword had already left its sheath.
It was a simple and unadorned sword. It did not even have a tasseled sword.
But, when Jiang Ting held the sword in his hand, anyone could feel the cold killing intent.
Ol’sixth had also unsheathed his sword.
It also carried a biting cold glint.
This sword was also brimming with killing intent.
There were quite a few departed souls under the sword as well.
But it was different.
The sixth brother looked at the sword and said in a low voice, “I remember that your sword was forged from cold iron, and that cold iron was even a tribute from another country. When we first sent it over, many people wanted it for their own, but none of them agreed.
Jiang Ting looked at the sword in his hand, and nodded lightly.
“Where’s your dagger?”
“He’s giving it away.”
“Giving it to someone, you actually gave it to someone else? I never thought that you would have such thoughts too. ” Ol ‘Six sounded like he had heard a funny joke.
“I am just a mere mortal.” Jiang Ting’s eyes revealed a trace of doubt, as though he didn’t know why she had such a doubt.
“As a royal guard, you can’t have feelings for them. Who did you give the dagger to?” At this moment, the sixth brother was extremely curious.
He was silent and taciturn. If it was not necessary, he would not say a single word for ten days to half a month.
He was just like the sword in his hand. It was a top-grade weapon, but it did not have the emotions a human should have.
In fact, how could humans have no emotions at all? Even if they were dark guards, they were still humans.
It would hurt and bleed, and it would have its own happiness, anger, sorrow, and unwillingness.
He did not expect that a weapon would have human emotions and would give his defensive weapon to someone else.
“My wife!” Jiang Ting seemed to have thought of something, and a warm smile appeared in his eyes.
“Wife, your wife?” The sixth brother couldn’t believe everything he had heard. He felt that Jiang Ting was probably joking around with him.
However, he understood in his heart that this person definitely wouldn’t speak without thinking.
He couldn’t believe it.
Jiang Ting pursed his lips, and said a little bashfully: “I’ve already reported to my parents, but they haven’t passed yet.”
But even so, Ol ‘Six still felt it was unbelievable.
“Who, your wife?”
“A country girl. Gentle and pure. Strong personality. High quality.”
The sixth brother couldn’t believe that such a person existed.
“Country girl?”
He muttered to himself, but it was also as if he really did not understand. “What’s good about it, it’s vulgar and ugly, and it doesn’t know anything. “Although you have a special status, if you really want to get married, you shouldn’t …”
It was not enough to marry a country girl.
He couldn’t understand why Jiang Ting would choose such a person to be his wife.
and even more so, did not expect Jiang Ting to tell him this.
Their number two had never talked so much before.
Thinking of something, the Sixth Brother opened his eyes wide. “Why are you telling me this? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell them? ”
“How can a dead man have another chance to speak?”
As Jiang Ting finished speaking, he had already raised his sword and pierced over.
The sixth brother felt a sword parry, but he was still a step too late. Although he managed to dodge the vital parts, his shoulder was still pierced.
As long as Jiang Ting made a move, he would not show any mercy.
Only now did the sixth brother realize that his ambush today had failed. The only thing he could do was to give it a shot, and perhaps have a chance at survival.
However, if he were to escape just like that and not join in, he would be crazily hunted down by his former master.
His Majesty wouldn’t allow anyone under his command to escape.
Since his life force had been cut off by him, he had always prided himself on being deep in thought and not flustered in the face of danger. However, now he felt fear in his heart.
Suddenly, he regretted his impulsiveness.
After a dozen or so rounds, the sixth brother was heavily decorated.
He stared at his wound in dissatisfaction and spoke with a ferocious expression.
Second brother, I advise you to look a little more clearly, the situation in the imperial court is getting worse, and even the only Gu Hou who was able to contend against the King Rong is dead, the entire Gu family is now half a son of the Prince Rong’s Mansion, and Gu Han is not someone who is easy to deal with. This man has no loyalty to talk about, he will only follow his father-in-law and after that, the King Rong will only be holding onto the imperial government, and will also have a third of the military power.
Gu Hou died?
Jiang Ting’s body paused for a moment.
The number of people who had personally experienced that disaster in the past also became fewer and fewer …
The sixth brother saw the opportunity and attacked once again.
Jiang Ting was half a move too slow.
The tip of the sword grazed his sleeve.
Once again, he quickly gained the upper hand.
The sixth brother’s heart was completely filled with fear. Even if he was distracted, he still wouldn’t be able to stab him.
Just what kind of existence was he, a comrade with the number ‘2’?
There was no room for him to think at all in this critical moment.
The two figures once again clashed.
The last thing the sixth brother saw was that sword made of cold iron stabbing at his forehead.
He was really wrong. He should have been able to keep his anger down. He shouldn’t have been so anxious to get what he wanted.
Take your time, maybe he’ll have a chance.
Joy, red candles, and the powder of firecrackers filled the courtyard.
He stopped the person who was about to leave and smiled at him, “Number two, let me tell you a joke!”
That was a plan that the brothers had come up with, and Second Bro was the one who kept silent.
They also wanted to see if this cold faced Hades would smile or not.
He had failed.
The pair of eyes remained impassive as they left.
He was only medium height, but his figure was graceful. He blended into the darkness, appearing and disappearing without anyone noticing.
An emotionless weapon was a companion that was worth entrusting, but it was also an absolutely formidable opponent.
The sixth brother’s body went limp.
Jiang Ting entered the palace walls without a trace.
At this time, Jiang Ting went straight to His Majesty’s chambers.
Within the palace walls, it was once again obstructed by someone.
“Second brother?” “You’re back?”
It was number four.
Jiang Ting nodded, he still had the scent of blood on him.
The two passed by each other and he said in a low voice, “Someone has been wandering around Green Fruit Lane for the past two days. Gu Xin seems to be investigating the case of the old tutor.”
Jiang Ting’s body trembled, his gaze landed on Yun Che’s body. He nodded slightly, confirming his words.
Jiang Ting turned his gaze back and saw the eunuch at the palace entrance go in to make the report.
Very quickly, Fourth Brother saw Jiang Ting being called in.
His Majesty always treated Second Brother differently.
They naturally knew that their second boss wasn’t by His Majesty’s side either, but had been sent to do something more important.
When he saw Jiang Ting, he did not have much of an expression on his face, so he asked about the smell of blood in the air. Slowly, he regained his focus and sat up straight as he looked at Jiang Ting with a solemn face.
This person was dressed in black, so naturally, one wouldn’t be able to see any traces of blood on his body. However, the stench of blood stung the nose, and there were still traces of red on his face.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Ting reported what happened tonight one by one.
His Majesty’s gaze turned sharp in an instant. He called for the leader of the Shadow Squad and told him to go check on the sixth brother’s residence.
As expected, he found a secret letter with the Prince Rong’s Mansion’s mark on it.
The secret letter was opened by the head eunuch and presented to the emperor. The emperor was furious after reading a few lines of words, “To think that such a person would appear by my side. He truly deserves to die!”
When everyone kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, the commander asked for punishment.
The emperor’s gaze swept across everyone one by one, and finally landed on Jiang Ting’s body.
Jiang Ting knelt on the ground. He did not raise his head, but he could feel that gaze that was like a shadow following him.
“Deal with him cleanly, don’t let even the slightest bit of information leak out.” The king ordered his commander to do so and said, “Your rule was not strict and almost led to a disaster. Go and receive your punishment.”
The commander accepted the order and left.
Jiang Ting was left alone in the room, and the Chief Eunuch tactfully left as well.
The king rubbed his nose, looking exhausted.
“Jiang Yihan, do you know that the honored tutor back then was punished by such a secret letter?”
Jiang Ting suddenly raised his head, looking at the seated man, he remained expressionless, but his eyes revealed a little stubbornness.
“Why can’t you calm down and bring him here for the Commander to properly interrogate him?”
“I dare not, for fear of his accomplices appearing from within.”
When they believed it, they believed it completely. Once they suspected it, everyone would become the target of suspicion.
This was the environment in which they lived.
His Majesty heaved a faint sigh.
There was a complicated look on his face.
Only, he didn’t have the time to calm his mind, so Jiang Ting took out the secret letter from his chest pocket and handed it over to him.
When he opened the envelope, there were only two pieces of white paper inside. They were soaked in water and dried by a candle flame. The words on the paper were slowly being revealed.
“Third Bro is dead.” The emperor calmly stated the truth, “You’re right. We don’t even know who we can trust around us right now.”
Who was the chess piece that had been ambushed by the King Rong, and who was the traitor who had turned the tables on the battle?
“The Gu Hou has gone.” The emperor read the letter word for word, then said to Jiang Ting, “Go pay your respects. Back then, I also did my best to ensure your survival.”
Jiang Ting looked at him fiercely.
The emperor nodded slightly.
